The family featured in the Hollywood blockbuster “The Blind Side” fired
back Monday at ex-NFLer Michael Oher’s claims they swindled him, calling
the allegations “insulting” and hurtful.
Oher, 37, filed a lawsuit in Shelby County, Tenn., court Monday saying he
only recently learned he wasn’t officially adopted by Sean and Leigh Anne
Tuohy and that he was instead duped into a conservatorship, which allowed
the family to rake in millions of dollars in royalties from the movie
about his life.
But Sean Tuohy told the Daily Memphian that the claims have “devastated”
the family.
Tuohy said the conservatorship was drawn up to ensure that Oher was
eligible to play football at the University of Mississippi.
Tuohy is a booster at the school, and if Oher wasn’t part of the family,
there could have been potential NCAA issues sending him there, Tuohy
suggested.
